The Winds of Change

Well its been about four months since I made a post on here. Events in my life have taken a turn and not all of them have been for the better. I was able to go see my daughter in Michigan for a week back in March and I had a wonderful time with her and her mother. Sometimes the thought crosses my mind of what could of been. If I hadn't of left three years ago this month. I had made a substantial purchase before my trip using my tax refund, (Instead of doing the responsible thing and use it to pay off debts), and picked up a new/refurbished (well its new to me...because I didn't have it before) Canon VIXIA HG20 high-definition camcorder. Best $500 I have ever spent, and I'm glad I had it with me so I could take some video to show my family. Not to mention the fact that I have always been interested in video-editing as a hobby and a potential new revenue stream for my finances. This time around, compared to when I went up to Battle Creek with my cousin, Tyler, instead of flying again I decided to make it a road trip. I had also took the time to go visit my friend Cindy in Cincinnati, Ohio. A woman that I have known for years but this was the first time we had met face to face. I had a great time with her and her then-finace, now husband, Shawn. So all in all, the travel time on the road was about 18 hours each way.

The only major problem that I had ran into while I was up there was that Kim, Nevaeh and myself had gotten professional pictures taken in Kalamazoo. And the cost of those getting done was A LOT more that I expected. (about $120 more...especially for Wal-mart) So I took a big hit there. I'm still dealing with the fallout from that happening. As I'm trying to catch up on all of my bills and everything five weeks later. I not completely in dire straits but its been pretty rough for me. Now on top of that, I'm trying to save up to buy some plane tickets for my daughter and her mother so they can come down to Delaware to visit and meet both my immediate and extended family and friends. The date that we have our eyes set on is July 22, right in time for the start of "Fair Week" aka The Delaware State Fair (July 22-July 31). I'm really looking forward to it.

Another major event going on in my life is that I am currently single. I had broken up with my-ex, Krystal, shortly after I returned from Michigan. And had a short relationship with another woman that didn't work out either. I just feel like that there has been so much going on in my life that I needed a break from trying to make a relationship work on top of all that, and to try to let love find me instead of constantly looking for love. I've been in contact with a couple of women from my past for the last few weeks now and it all has been going pretty well but I'm not actively pursuing any relationships at this time.
